Bob F Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 If you look at the posts in the Boat Talk section you will see an earlier post which gives a lot of details on the type of anchor and length of rope and chain to use. Enjoy. Bob F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afishionado Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 Anchor Low Cost............ 10lb Fishermans Medium/High cost.10lb Bruce (type... Look on e-bay for a clone) Either to 10ft of 3/16th galv' chain then 150 to 200 ft of 8mm Nylon rope (idealy plaited) Many anglers drastically over specify their anchor requirements. Don't forget you have to pull it in as well as put it out. Retrieve by using the Alderny buoy method........ If you don't know what that is come to a meeting and all will be explained or send me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
